Artificial Intelligence Showcase

Information

We are rapidly moving from a world where people give machines orders, to one in which people give machines problems, and the machines learn to solve the problems by themselves.

This is a timely event which will examine the unprecedented disruption and transformation of industries, business and the jobs market due to advancements in AI and machine learning. Codex has brought together leaders from industry who are uniquely positioned to showcase the latest advances in AI whilst also providing actionable insights into the impact of these disruptive technologies.

The format will be a series of Codex Talks. A Codex Talk is a concise presentation from a speaker with the aim of answering a set question related to their industry or technology area. After answering the question, the speaker will be asked to make a bold prediction about their industry.

A Codex Talk will give the audience something they can walk away with: valuable insights, actionable information, fresh perspectives, and renewed optimism.
